When i first started (like, 5 years ago) I used to think that Arcanine was a legendary. Being called "the Legendary Pokemon" in it's Pokedex entry, i thought it was literal. I've learned better though, heh.

May the odds be EVER in your favor

Bidoof! Just joking.
Arcanine and volcarona seemed like a legends to me.
And also Manaphy and Phione and Rotom.

Yeah Volcarona does seem pretty legendary, UNTIL YOU FIND OUT HE IS AN EVOLVED FORM!!!
Also Moltres wasnt even supposed to be in the legendary bird trio, Arcanine was but it was weird having a dog and 2 birds. Even though i thought Arcanine was a legendary pokemon and Growlithes were always with Officer Jennys.
Rotom does seem legendary with his forms changing.

I thought Missingno was a legendary and M was too. DAMN GLITCH POKEMON MYTHS!!!
Also thought Zoroark was a legendary at first since in white/black you needed a shiny event suicune/entei/raiku to get it. Then I found out that it wasnt and in black 2/white 2 YOUR GET A ZORUA HANDED OVER TO YOU FOR FREE!!!

They're glitch pokemon that appear in most games. Although I think you can't encounter them nowadays without hacking.
But back then in Red/Blue, you could encounter both Missingno. and 'M via a famous glitch.

My shinies are not for trade or cloning.
Shinies are not listed in order, for example the last shiny on the banner is not always the latest shiny I've obtained.
Banner 1 made by Light Venusaur, thanks ^_^

i can one up you. i knew it was a legendary, but i killed it by accident. then i soft reset my gbasp thinking it would be in the same spot. i found out later that its completely random and once you see it you can track it with the pokedex which i had just screwd up by restarting. i never saw that latias again...

Back during Silver Version came out I used my master ball on a Skarmory almost right after I got it because I never saw one and it looked mean so I thought it just HAD to be legendary or extremely OP or something Ż\_(ツ)_/Ż

I can't really think of any instances where I've been confused about a Pokemon's legendary status off the top of my head. There's Phione, but I personally consider it a legendary due to the fact that the only way to obtain it without trading is through an event-only legendary, and it's also stuck right in with the other Sinnoh legends in the Pokedex. I do think it's a bit odd that even official sources can't seem to agree on whether Phione is truly legendary, though. :/

I also vaguely recall rumors that Unown and Lucario were legendary due to their large roles in their respective movies when they were first announced, but I can't remember if that was actually a thing or not (or whether I even believed it).
